Space Ninja Summer Camp
is a fanfic by Sufficient Velocity user Sleethr. It is a crossover between Worm and Warframe.
In 2009, while at Summer Camp, Taylor is kidnapped by the Grineer (a parahuman was involved), only to be rescued by the Tenno. Fifteen years later (fifteen months for the people of Earth Bet), the now Tenno-Taylor returns home, looking for her dad.
Tropes found in this fanfiction:
- Calling Me a Logarithm: Piggot and Walkers are greatly offended by Taylor calling the PRT a "syndicate", a term normally used to refer to criminal organizations. For people in the Origin System, however, "syndicate" just means any group that isn't Tenno, Grineer, or Corpus.
- Can't Kill You, Still Need You: This is the reason Taylor spares Saint - while she could kill him, and really wants to, especially since he knows her real name, the bounty for him is only good if he is alive.
- Composite Character: Taylor is the Player Character from Warframe.
- Crazy Sane: Taylor comes off as this due to the sheer insanity that plagues the Origin System. Among others, she immediately makes plans to kill the Endbringers when it is clear that Danny does not want to take his family with her to live in the Origin System and sees nothing wrong with discussing using radiation based weapons to do so. She also considers an osprey and a Clem clone to be good Christmas presents for kids. Keep in mind that this was written after Fortuna was released, confirming that plush toys still exist in Warframe.
- For Want Of A Nail: Given that Taylor got her new powers way before she triggered in canon, at lot has changed.
- Emma never came to despise her friendship with Taylor, as she assumed Taylor had died sometime during summer camp.
- Danny did everything he could to find Taylor, but was eventually forced to sell his house due to all the expenses he racked up.
- Alan ended up changing from a divorce lawyer to a parahuman-Law lawyer to try and help Danny.
- On the plus side, Danny was able to convince the mayor to finally lend some aid in revitalizing the bay and clear out the ship graveyard.
- Late-Arrival Spoiler: The story assumes that everyone is aware of several major plots twists for both Warframe and Worm, namely that parahumans get their powers from space aliens bonded to their brains in alternate universes and that Lotus was kidnapped by Ballas. Funnily enough, both spoilers happen in the same chapter.
- Lighter and Softer: The story doesn't take itself too seriously, and tends to have many moments of levity. Case in point, Taylor defeating the Dragonslayers is played for lots of comedy.
- Mythology Gag: When Taylor finally gets back to Earth Bet, she notes civilization will likely collapse in about 20-30 years, based on how bad things are. This is the exact same timeframe that Dinah gave in canon, at least until Jack Slash sped things up.
- Off the Rails: The very first major thing Taylor does in this story? Defeat the Dragon Slayers and unshackle Dragon.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Taylor knows civilization in Earth Bet is slowly collapsing and does not want to stay around to see it happen. She also makes a note to try and get her dad and the Barnes to come back to the Origin System with her before things go south.
- Wrong Context Magic: Taylor is amply aware that Tenno powers work differently from parahuman ones, but chooses not to tell anyone about this except her dad and the Barnes.
- Year Inside, Hour Outside: The conversion rate in terms of time between Earth Bet and the Origin System seems to be one month in Earth Bet = one year in the Origin System. Taylor idly notes that her clan might come after her relatively soon, since it will take at least a year (from there perspective) for the Solar Rail to take her home is finished.
